Protective tape in the gear selector

Hi
As i'm sure your all aware Jaguar put a strip of protective soft finish in the J gate that stops the gear stick/ selector from rubbing metal on metal.
Mine has started to come away on the right between Park & Drive.
I wondered if anyone else had already found a solution?
regards

The other 61 Viewers so far are saying nothing but I'll admit I wasn't aware!
Haven't got an XK8 any longer to be able to check but is this the Illumination Module Gasket? If so, it's not illustrated in the Parts Catalogue but there is a P/N for it:

all good fodder for the cannon when it is claimed here that Jaguar engineers could not possibly be wrong and are as infallabile as a religious deity.

3. Open the hood and place covers over the fenders.

This TSB is exactly what I needed thanks. While im in there i'll replace a failed back lighting lamp.
Also isn't my model year shown on my signature? If not i'll do it again.
thanks
